Area Scouts will be selling tickets for the cook-off for only $5.00 each. When they sell 10 tickets they earn a Scout-O-Rama t-shirt and other memorabilia, plus a portion of the funds go to support their own troop as well as other Caddo Area Council Scouting programs. Chili Cook-off tickets will also be sold at the Ross Perot Scout Service Center at #24 Lynwood drive in Texarkana, Texas and at the show of course.
